Date: November 30, 2010
Subject: Burdensome Food Safety Regulations
Description: This bill overhauled food safety laws, expanded Food and Drug Administration enforcement powers and added 18,000 federal employees. The bill enormously increased the regulatory red tape to operate farms and processing centers but did nothing to reduce the many agencies now dealing with the same issue and did not in fact increase meat and poultry safety.
Result: Bill Passed, 73-25
Names ordered: By yea/nay Order alphabetically Order by party Order by state
